Body odour is a characteristic trait of Homo sapiens, however its role in human behaviour and evolution is poorly understood. Remarkably, body odour is linked to the presence of a few species of commensal microbes. Herein we discover a bacterial

Cysteine conjugate S-oxidase activity, with S-benzyl-L-cysteine as substrate, was found mostly in the microsomal fractions of rat liver and kidney. In the presence of oxygen and NADPH, S-benzyl-L-cysteine is converted to S-benzyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide; no S-benzyl-L-cysteine sulfone was detected. The Vmax

To explore the possibility of utilizing cysteine derivatives for technetium-99m radiopharmaceutical preparation with clinical potential, we synthesized two benzyl substituted cysteine compounds, namely, S-benzyl cysteine 1 and cysteine benzyl ester 3. It was expected, from our previous studies on benzoyl

Lysine 269 in Escherichia coli tryptophan indole-lyase (tryptophanase) has been changed to arginine by site-directed mutagenesis. The resultant K269R mutant enzyme exhibits kcat values about 10% those of the wild-type enzyme with S-(o-nitrophenyl)-L-cysteine, L-tryptophan, and S-benzyl-L-cysteine, while kcat/Km values are

We investigated the capacity and the localization of N-acetylation of the mercapturic acid precursor S-benzyl-L-cysteine (BC), as well as the tubular reabsorption of this compound in the rat kidney in vivo et situ by renal clearance and continuous microinfusion and
